Nicki Minaj Leaving ‘American Idol’

On May 30, Nicki officially announced she was leaving the show by tweeting, “Thank you American Idol for a life changing experience! Wouldn’t trade it for the world! Time to focus on the Music!!! Mmmuuuaahhh!!!”

Are All 4 ‘Idol’ Judges Leaving?

On May 9, Randy revealed this season of American Idol would be his last. He released a statement announcing his departure:

Yo! Yo! Yo! To put all of the speculation to the rest, after 12 years of judging on American Idol I have decided it is time to leave after this season. I am very proud of how we forever changed television and the music industry. It’s been a life changing opportunity but I am looking forward to focusing on my company Dream Merchant 21 and other business ventures.

The only judge’s fate who hasn’t been decided is Keith’s. The rumor is that Idol producers are planning a revamp of the show by bringing back Idol alum to be the judges on the next season.

Best news all day. She single-handedly almost drive a nail in the coffin. She had zero respect for the contest or the contestants. It was all about stroking her over-inflated ego. Don’t let the door hit you in the….

They need to bring in a veteran rocker like Brett Michaels, Dee Schneider, Vince Neil, Michael Sweet or Don Dokken. They’d better not put in a former Idol Winner. The judges have been A-list, and if they go to B-list judges, Idol will become a B-list show. Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson are the only real A-list Idol Alumni, and even then it would just feel wrong. And they should go back to three judges – four is a crowd.

I think they should keep Keith urban and Mariah Carey but I think Bruno mars,Kelly clarkson would maje great judges too but I miss Simon cowbell and Paula Abdul he main judges…when they left the whole show fell apart just my opioion
